研究人员对有科学天赋的农村青少年女性的父母态度、科学的内在价值、同伴支持、可用活动以及对未来科学职业的偏好之间的关系进行了研究。 220 名 9 至 12 年级的女孩及其母亲回答了有关科学课程、未来课程和大学专业的计划、对女孩科学能力的看法以及对科学领域持续兴趣的众多支持和阻碍的调查问卷。当前对科学的内在兴趣与偏爱科学职业密切相关，但以前的科学经历（以学校成绩、科学平均绩点、朋友对科学的支持和课外科学活动来衡量）和社交者的态度（以母亲对科学对女性的价值及其女儿的能力的看法来衡量）也相关。讨论强调了提供活动和其他支持以维持农村环境中女孩对科学的兴趣的重要性。
Relations between parent attitudes, intrinsic value of science, peer support, available activities, and preference for future science careers were examined for science-talented, rural, adolescent females. Two hundred and twenty 9th-12th-grade girls and their mothers responded to questionnaires about science courses, plans for future courses and college majors, perceptions of the girls’ abilities in science, and numerous supports and deterrents for continued interest in science areas. Current intrinsic interest in science was most strongly related to preferring a science career, but previous experiences with science (measured by grade in school, science GPA, friends’ support for science, and extracurricular science activities) and socializers’ attitudes (measured by mothers’ perceptions of the value of science for women and of their daughters’ abilities) were also related. The discussion highlights the importance of providing activities and other supports to maintain girls’ interests in science in a rural environment.
